Five years ago today, we opened the doors to Courageous Healing with faith, vision, and a heart for our community. Since then, y’all have trusted us with your stories, your grief, your healing, your children, your relationships, and your hope — and we will never take that lightly.

These last 5 years have stretched us, humbled us, and changed us forever. We’ve watched healing happen in real time. We’ve watched people choose themselves. We’ve watched families reconnect. We’ve watched our community slowly begin to believe that therapy is not weakness — it’s courage.

And somehow, together, we built this.
Not perfectly. Not easily. But faithfully.

To every client, supporter, partner, donor, staff member, friend, and community member: thank you for allowing us to serve. These walls mean something because of you. 🤎

5 years down… and we’re still just getting started.

Also, SAVE THE DATE and come celebrate with us at our 5 Year Anniversary Block Party on June 27, 2026!  We’re bringing the community together with food trucks, vendors, wellness resources, music, and more as we celebrate five years of healing, growth, and impact together.

With love and gratitude,
Aaron & Janell Lane

We are so excited for this collaboration! Our community needs this!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Opioid Service Language Access Pilot: OSLAP!
The Language Access Lab is proud to team up with Courageous Healing, Inc. and Redemption House Ministries to ensure that Limited English Proficient (LEP) residents in Allen County have equitable access to life-saving recovery services

A huge thank you to the City of Fort Wayne Government for making this collaboration possible through a $10,000 National Opioid Settlement Mini Grant!

Over the next 6 months, we will be working together to transform monolingual services into accessible gateways for all residents.

Through this pilot, we will be:
🔹 Providing a customized 3-part language access training series to frontline staff
🔹 Co-designing protocols to support clients

Language barriers should never prevent someone from receiving life-saving interventions. Together, we are building a scalable blueprint to remove these barriers so that no one falls through the cracks on their recovery journey.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re creating space for real conversations that matter. 🖤

Join Courageous Healing, Inc. and the Fort Wayne Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. for “Crisis to Community”—a powerful mental health forum focused on healing, understanding, and collective support.

We’ll be talking openly about:
- Trauma and how it shows up in our lives
- The impact of violence in our communities
- Social and systemic barriers to care
- Courageous Healing, Inc.’s crisis intervention efforts
- And how we move forward—together

This is more than a conversation—it’s about turning pain into power and building a community where healing is accessible, culturally grounded, and real.

We were honored to welcome basketball legend Chamique Holdsclaw to Fort Wayne as part of the Jonathan Hancock Lecture Series, a program hosted by Canterbury School that each year highlights an important community cause by selecting a nonprofit organization to receive event proceeds. This year, we are deeply grateful to be chosen as that recipient. Her powerful voice and advocacy continue to shine a light on the importance of mental health awareness and healing in our communities. 💙

At Courageous Healing, Inc., our mission is rooted in exactly that—ensuring that individuals and families, especially in underserved areas, have access to the mental health support they deserve.

Our co-founders, Aaron and Janell Lane, shared an important message during this event: mental health challenges are impacting the majority of households across the United States today. This reality underscores the urgency of expanding access to care, breaking stigma, and meeting people where they are with compassion and resources.

Together, we can continue to uplift, educate, and provide pathways to healing for all. Thank you to everyone who joined us and supports this vital work.

In the United States, Black women make up approximately 14% — and Latina women 7.9% — of all licensed clinicians (LMHC/LPC, LCSW, LMFT).

In Indiana, those numbers are even smaller: approximately 10% and 6%, respectively (Burreau of Labor Statistics).

And yet — we are here. We have always been here.

We stand on the shoulders of:

Dr. Inez Beverly Prosser — first Black woman psychologist in the U.S.

Dr. Margaret Morgan Lawrence — first Black woman psychoanalyst and psychotherapist in the U.S.

Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark — first Black woman to earn a psychology PhD from Columbia University, whose landmark "Doll Test" helped end school segregation

Dr. Martha E. Bernal — first Latina to earn a PhD in psychology in the U.S.

Dr. Melba J.T. Vasquez — first Latina President of the American Psychological Association

As we close out this Women's History Month, Courageous Healing, Inc. honors their legacies — and carry them forward every day, in every session, sitting with women who are boldly owning the narratives of their own histories.

International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery & the Transatlantic Slave Trade

March 25, 2026

Yesterday, the world took a historic step toward truth and healing.

The United Nations General Assembly passed a landmark resolution — led by Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama and supported by 123 nations — formally declaring the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity. The resolution calls on nations to engage in reparatory justice, including formal apologies, restitution, compensation, and systemic changes to address racism and ongoing discrimination.

For over 400 years, more than 12.5 million African men, women, and children were stolen from their homes, stripped of their names, their languages, their families, and their futures. This was not just a historical atrocity — its wounds are still open.

Why does this matter for mental health?

At Courageous Healing, Inc., we know that trauma does not end when the event does. The legacy of enslavement lives in the bodies, nervous systems, and psyches of Black people today — in the form of intergenerational trauma, racial battle fatigue, racial health disparities, and the chronic stress of navigating systems rooted in anti-Blackness. Healing cannot be fully separated from acknowledgment, and acknowledgment cannot be separated from justice.

This resolution is not just political — it is psychological. When the world says we see what was done, and it was wrong,that recognition is part of the healing process. It is what culturally centered mental health care has always understood: you cannot heal what the world refuses to name.

As Ghana's Foreign Minister Samuel Ablakwa said: "History does not disappear when ignored, truth does not weaken when delayed... and justice does not expire with time."

We celebrate this resolution as a step — one step — on the long road to collective healing. And we remain committed to walking that road alongside our community: holding space for grief, honoring resilience, and providing care that truly sees and honors the fullness of Black life and history.

Healing is not forgetting. Healing is being seen.

Last week, Co-founder Aaron Lane, MSOL, LSW got the opportunity to spend time with Bloom Project, Inc.

We love when collaborations just make sense! Thank you to Arnetta Scruggs and the Bloom team for pouring into so many young men in our community.

Leadership isn't just modeled in the office or the boardroom. It’s lived out loud in every space we occupy.

Co-founders and Co-CEOs Aaron and Janell Lane spent the morning pouring into the team at Brotherhood Mutua.l — What made it even more meaningful, is that their children were able to join them. The children had a chance to practice being guest panelists!

These opportunities for intergenerational learning and connection provide living lessons for the next generation: what it looks like to steward a calling with grace, integrity, and intentionality.

Thanks to for inviting the team to share at chapel and for your continued partnership with Courageous Healing.
